I know some people are like, “Yeah but it’s cheap. And it’s still make up.” But think again. Do you really know what ingredients your fake make up contains? No.

And stupid sellers who say things like “The buyers will know whether it’s fake or not.” Clearly, not everyone is aware of fake cosmetics! I didn’t when I first started.

Some general rules I go by:
MAC always always has batch numbers and names for their products. Never a number like #002 or something! But some fakes are really good so always make sure to ask for pictures and compare with the real thing or with guides etc.

Majority of fake cosmetics sellers are based in Hong Kong or China. Avoid.

If it’s too good to be true – it probably is!

So here are some great guides about fake MAC which I’ve found useful 🙂 Hope it helps someone! Also, if you haven’t already, join Specktra.net. They have a great ‘Counterfeit’ sub-forum which actually contains several useful guides on counterfeit make up 🙂
